We're gonna let Noodle and Shaun Ryder do a little singing tonight with this fresh hypnotic tune. If you're not up dancing and grooving by the end of this, you might wanna check to see if you're still breathing.

There are few things as distasteful as a hit and run accident
And few people less honorable than hit and run drivers. Jersey City has two of them and hopefully you can help locate at least one of them.
A Jersey City woman was hit, knocked 140 feet and killed as she crossed Grand Avenue leaving the Jersey City Medical Center yesterday. She was the mother of seven. Now police say they have a good video of the incident in which she was hit by a dark color SUV, possibly a Jeep. She was then either hit by another vehicle, a black van that either hit her but certainly swerved to avoid her body and keep going.
Do you know of somebody who has such a vehicle as the Jeep that suddenly has suspicious front end damage or a neighbor who drives one but it's now suddenly not being used or kept in a garage? Make the call, (201) 547-JAIL.

Late night open thread
First off, we'll get to the music series tomorrow night. Johnny got back from the Devils game later than planned.
Speaking of the Devils, they won their 8th straight game tonight, beating the stinky Penguins 4-3 in overtime. Jamie Langenbrunner scored the tying goal with 31 seconds left and got the winner with exactly one minute left in overtime. The Devils captain also had the OT winner in Boston last night. One of Johnny's old faves Brendan Shanahan had a goal and an assist. Johnny didn't see this mentioned yet on TSN or ESPN but something was wrong with Cindy Crosby. He only saw the ice for MAYBE 15 seconds in overtime. Twice he went out to try a shift and immediately tuned back to the bench. His ovaries must be acting up (in all fairness he has a bad knee, not sure if this was why he couldn't go in OT). Speaking of floaters, good GOD is Evgeni Malkin a whiner and flopper. Twice in the first period he quit skating as the play went the other way up the ice to complain to an official. Twice he flopped on the ice like he was shot from the Book Depository and writhed around only to miraculously recover by the next shift or when a powerplay came Pittsburgh's way. It was nice to go to a non-Red Wings game and have a rooting interest disliking Pittsburgh the way he does (every time he goes there he litters). Many Penguin fans had red and puffy eyes on the way out.
It was good loud crowd having fun on a Friday night. However, the jury is still out on that Cameron Bozo handing out the shirts all night long. Like Pete Townsend once sang, "A Little is Enough".

As expected, Dawn Zimmer to run for Mayor of Hoboken
As reported here, Dawn Zimmer has decided to throw the proverbial hat into the ring and run for mayor of Hoboken. Telling the Jersey Journal "I'm nice but I'm tough," Zimmer made it official. She said there would only be three council members running on her ticket but didn't mention who the others would be.
Zimmer said her goals would be implementing green ideas around Hoboken and cutting taxes.

The Devils beat Boston in overtime tonight in Beantown 4-3. The Devils have won 7 straight heading into tomorrow night's game with Cindy Crosby and the overrated and vastly overhyped Penguins. Johnny will be there in the lower bowl with his Red Wings cap cheering for the Devils to make it 8 in a row. He's gonna try to get a sign down at ice level during warm ups with the message '#87, Gary's Lil Butt Kisser'.

Louie DePalma is alive and well and working near Journal Square
Even after passing new rules regarding taxis in Jersey City, JC residents and officials are still having big problems getting cab drivers to follow them at Journal Square.
Last August City Council passed new laws forbidding such practices as filling up taxis with multiple passengers going to different places. They're still doing it. Cab drivers turn down passengers wanting to go only a few blocks. They're also ripping off senior citizens by not offering the senior discount which they should be doing. There is even a report of a cabbie assaulting a passenger. Nice.
It's gotten so bad at least one resident is calling for a boycott. Jersey City's Director of the Division of Commerce Paul Barna says the problem is not imagined. Barna says since they began enforcing the new rules last year over 400 summonses have been handed out to offending drivers.
Good for you Mr. Barna, crack the whip. Keep the pressure on. There's zero excuse for actions like these drivers are trying to get away with. Sometimes a cab driver is the first impression of a city, especially possible in a spot as busy as Journal Square. We'd like our visitors and residents to see more Alex Riegers and less Louie DePalmas...

A tip of the Jersey City Desk cap to Global Container Terminals
Global Container Terminals CEO John Atkins did a very unselfish thing for the city of Bayonne and the Bayonne Fire Department, he donated $332,237 so the BFD (lol) could get the title and insure a fire truck they had taken delivery of 4 months ago yet could not use.
The new fire truck, called a "specialty pumper" and has a 1,500 gallon a minute pumping capacity will replace a 12-year-old truck that will now become a reserve truck.
In these trying economic times, this is probably the last thing the City of Bayonne or anyone expected. This is beyond nice, this is a great gift by Global Container Terminals. Kudos.

Price of a life in Jersey City now falls to $0.00
Jersey City's second murder thus far in 2009 shows the callous nature of scumbags with guns. The owner of Albert's Grocery, Mr. Kiritkumar Parikh, was shot and killed after he refused to give one of these scumbags with a gun the money he demanded.
Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio told the Jersey Journal "This was clearly a gratuitous act of gun violence taking the life of the hard-working gentleman". The robber after demanding money then fled without getting a dime. What a class act eh? According to witnesses and neighborhood peeps, Mr. Parikh was a well liked, hard working salt of the earth type of man.
Police say the brain addled suspect is described as an African-American, around 6-feet-tall, of thin build and wearing dark clothing. Anyone with ANY information is asked to call (201) 915-1345. Come on people, let's get this trash and help make Jersey City better using subtraction as addition.

Um, uh, Giants fans, we need to talk. This should never happen. Johnny's had girlfriends break up with him and handled it better. Jesus, he's had relatives DIE and handled it better. According to the YouTube, this guys name is Rob.
Don't be a Rob.
Bad language and general taunting of a weeping mangina. Not for the kids.
